Chapter 58 Mountain Sealing Formation
Xu Fu looked at the wrinkled and gray-haired old man in front of him. He no longer had half of his previous energy, and he had simply declined to the extreme.
Xu Fu quickly gathered all his spiritual energy and tried to break away from the spiritual connection with Zhu Tingfang, but he still couldn't restrain the spiritual energy from pouring into his body.
Xu Fu tried to move his body again, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it actually worked. As soon as Zhu Tingfang's hand left his Dantian, his spiritual power was immediately disconnected, but Zhu Tingfang also immediately fainted in front of the bed, barely breathing.
"The situation is urgent. You go in first and report that a powerful enemy is attacking!"
At this time, the two people outside the door seemed to have reached a consensus, and the footsteps had already reached the door.
"It's better to run away first!" Xu Fu thought to himself, even the former head could not be cured of this evil poison, let alone others. Zhu Tingfang's appearance was hard to explain. The most important thing now is to leave. This is a place of right and wrong.
Raising his hand to wave a gust of wind, the back window of the room quietly opened, and Xu Fu rushed out in one stride.
"who!"
The person at the door seemed to have noticed something. After an angry shout, the door fell apart.
"Discovered?"
Xu Fu didn't dare to look back and complained secretly in his heart, but he stopped tiptoeing and used Juechen's footwork with all his strength, running towards the place where the trees were thickest.
Obviously, the people outside the house did not expect that someone would actually dare to take advantage of the Spirit-Sealing Sect, and no one paid attention. It was not until Xu Fu used his magic to cause fluctuations in spiritual power that the people outside the house paid attention.
"Master! Master!"
Zhu Yun's anxious call came from the guest room, and the remaining people chased him out.
"Where to go down the mountain?"
Xu Fu has been wandering around this mountain for a long time. He was clearly heading down the mountain, but he still couldn't reach the foot of the mountain. Although the mountain is high, it's not like he couldn't see the foot of the mountain for so long!
Xu Fu looked down the mountain, it was still foggy, but he had no other choice but to continue walking down the mountain cautiously.
Jiuxia Mountain, Paiyun Hall.
"How is Master?" Yan Heng asked sternly as he sat on the leader's seat in the middle. Although he was wearing a purple sect master's robe, his face was full of fierceness, and there was no trace of the indifference of a monk. This statement made many people in the palace tremble with fright, which shows how powerful he usually is.
As soon as Yan Heng finished speaking, someone immediately responded.
"Reporting to the headmaster, my junior brother said that Master Zixia is not in danger of his life at the moment, but..." A middle-aged fat man wearing a light blue Taoist robe with a white face and no beard answered with his hands.
"Just what?" Yan Heng asked impatiently. He always had a short temper and hated being sloppy and hesitant when speaking.
"Junior brother said that the real person accidentally became obsessed with evil. Although his life was intact, his cultivation was greatly damaged, and... he was also a little confused." Hearing the displeasure in the headmaster's mouth, the fat man spoke much more eloquently.
"Bastard!"
Yan Heng slapped the armrest of the seat, and a palm print was left on the fine copper armrest. The fat Taoist was shocked and did not dare to say another word.
Everyone was as silent as a cicada.
"Send the order and ask Zhu Yun to take care of the master. No one is allowed to disturb him without my order. If anything happens, report him at any time."
"Yes." The fat Taoist quickly exited the hall as if he had been pardoned, and ran towards the back mountain as if he was running away.
"Have you caught the thief?" Yan Heng asked again.
"Reporting to the leader, the mountain sealing formation has been opened. This person cannot escape with his wings. The disciples are trying their best to search, but there is no news of catching the thief yet." A young Taoist priest came out and replied.
"Where's that drunkard?" Yan Heng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down his irritable mood.
"He...is missing."
"Where are you missing?" Yan Heng's slap almost shattered the leader's chair. The young Taoist priest was so frightened that his speech became much sharper, and he told the whole story in one breath.
"Originally, it was Senior Brother Six who was drinking with him. He said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and Senior Brother Six followed him. When he didn't come out for a while, he realized that he was gone."
"They're all trash!"
Yan Heng raised his hand and slapped the young Taoist priest to the ground with a fist shadow. The young Taoist priest spurted blood all over his body. The others just looked on coldly, as if they were used to it.
"Notify everyone in the Fengling Sect to find these two people for me no matter what!" Yan Heng shouted angrily and walked away.
Everyone bowed their heads and said yes.
"Delirium, delirium..."
No one noticed that Yan Heng was chewing these words over and over again when he left.
……
"What the hell is this place?"
Xu Fu walked down the mountain for another stick of incense and found that he still couldn't see the foot of the mountain, so he stopped.
Even though Xu Fu had never seen the world again, he knew something was wrong.
"Is this the formation mentioned in the book?"
When Xu Fu was learning alchemy in Shaoshang City, he had read through Li Danxin's collection of books, which talked about formations. However, the book did not introduce them in detail. He only said that the formations were performed by borrowing spiritual objects. There were many types and infinite uses. But It can be used to attack or defend, to confuse, or to bless. It can be small and can be carved on an object, making it undetectable. It can be large and rely on mountains and rivers to cover the sky and the earth.
Xu Fu once carefully observed the spiritual bow of Black Feather Arrow, the red lotus robe of Senluo Sect, and the mysterious alchemy furnace he picked up. They all had some mysterious textures, but Xu Fu had never learned formations, so naturally he couldn't see them. This is why.
Before, Xu Fu was looking forward to the opportunity to see the magnificent Heaven and Earth Formation, but he didn't expect that he would actually encounter it on Jiuxia Mountain. Xu Fu didn't know how the formation worked, but he was really trapped anyway.
"This is how to do?"
Xu Fu sat down on the stone and patted his head worriedly.
Suddenly, Xu Fu felt a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy. When he looked up, he saw a man coming through the clouds and fog on a spiritual boat.
"It's really here!"
The people on the boat laughed loudly, the person who came was none other than the timid fat Taoist from Paiyun Hall. When he saw Xu Fu, his face looked happy and he laughed loudly.
"Who are you?" Xu Fu shouted not to be outdone. Since he was discovered, he wanted to ask how to get down the mountain.
"Ignorant rats dare to break into Jiuxia Mountain without even recognizing me. You must listen carefully. I am Gong Bufan, Lord Lingyun. Please hurry up and capture me." Gong Bufan did not show any signs of being in Paiyun Palace at this time. He looks humble, speaks with righteousness and full of momentum.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing we can do!"
Xu Fu's eyes lit up, and after a moment's thought, he put his hands together and stretched out his hands, really looking like he was ready to catch him.
"Quite sensible!"
Gong Bufan felt quite proud when he saw that Xu Fu stopped resisting after hearing his name. He pressed the spirit boat and stepped forward to capture Xu Fu's pulse gate.
Unexpectedly, this catch was missed. Xu Fu flipped his hands and grabbed Gong Bufan's wrist first.
"You...you are bold!"
Gong Bufan was shocked. He didn't expect that the young boy in front of him would dare to take action against a great venerable like him.
"It hurts!"
Gong Bufan has been practicing in the Fenling Sect since he was a child. He never goes out or steps forward from the second door on weekdays. He rarely fights with others. Even when discussing with fellow sects, he can just push and push. In addition, he is usually kind-hearted. He is very popular in the sect and has never encountered such a situation since he started practicing.
Being buckled by Xu Fu, Gong Bufan felt that his wrist was clamped by iron pliers, and his bones were about to break. He hurriedly used his skills, his spiritual power surged through his meridians, trying to use his powerful cultivation to push Xu Fu away.
But Gong Bufan didn't expect that the kid in front of him actually had the cultivation level to compete with him. Even if he pushed his skills to the extreme, he still couldn't get rid of the control of his right hand.
"how can that be?"
Gong Bufan was inexplicably horrified. The young man in front of him looked like he was less than twenty years old. How could he have such profound cultivation?
Gong Bufan has also been practicing for decades and is already a seventh-level venerable. Even though he lacks experience in facing enemies, he quickly calmed down after a brief panic. Although his right hand could not move at this time, his left hand was intact, and he immediately picked up a magic formula.
The secret method of sealing spirits!
Although Gong Bufan has high talent in cultivation, he has a very lazy temperament. He was able to reach the seventh level only two years ago. However, it was precisely because of this lazy temperament that he escaped several battles. At this time, he was in Fengling. Pai already had countless seniority, and at the critical moment, he used the secret technique of sealing spirits that he had practiced since childhood without thinking.
It's a pity that no matter how good the technique is, it will be difficult to exert its power without practice. As soon as Gong Bufan raised his hand, Xu Fu pointed at his elbow like a prophet. Gong Bufan only felt his left arm go numb, and the purple hair on his fingertips The light has long since dissipated invisible.
Gong Bufan ignored his venerable demeanor and screamed out with a grin on his face. The secret technique he had "cultivated" for decades was actually broken by the man in front of him. Even if he told it, no one would believe it.
"Why is this man's vision so vicious?"
Gong Bufan speculated in his mind, but had no intention of taking action again.
Xu Fu saw Gong Bufan's frightened look, and a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he had guessed well. The performance of the technique requires very high spiritual power, especially if it is continuous. The more complex the technique, the more detailed the spiritual power requirements. Xu Fu was very close to Gong Bufan at this time, so he tried to stimulate it with spiritual power. After checking the meridians on Gong Bufan's arm, it turns out that the secret technique cannot be used.
"Seeing that you have no other options, I have a few questions. Please tell me honestly and let you live." Xu Fu said calmly.
"I'm just daydreaming. How can I, the venerable one, be threatened by a young boy like you? If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
Gong Bufan is quite tough.
"is it?"
Xu Fu slightly increased the strength on his hands.
"It hurts, it hurts! Stop!"
Gong Bufan immediately howled like a slaughtered pig.
"Can you tell me?" Xu Fu relaxed slightly.
"What... do you want to know?" Gong Bufan became honest at this time.
"How can we go down the mountain?"
"The mountain sealing formation has been opened and we can't go down the mountain."
"Sure enough...then how can we close the formation?"
"There is an altar at the top of Jiuxia Mountain. Only there can the formation be closed."
"Who guards the altar?"
"My third senior brother, Dongfang He and his four disciples."
"How is your cultivation?"
"About me."
"Then I'll help you give me a ride." Xu Fu said, glancing at Lingzhou on the side. He also had his own plans. The questioning went surprisingly smoothly. Xu Fu didn't dare to believe Gong Bufan's words, but there was such a person. With the hostage in hand, maybe a fight can be saved.
Xu Fu doesn't like fighting, especially not fighting with powerful people. It's great to live well, what's the point of fighting.
Gong Bufan seemed to be surrendered and obeyed Xu Fu's words. Xu Fu asked him to give him a ride, but he didn't even say "no". With a wave of his hand, the spirit boat came to the feet of the two of them.
This was not the first time Xu Fu rode this spirit boat, and he was no longer as scared as before. At this time, he stood behind Gong Bufan, no longer clamping his wrist, but pointing his left index finger on his vest. If Gong Bufan made any move, He can be subdued with just one effort.
Gong Bufan naturally felt the finger behind him and honestly drove the spirit boat towards the top of the mountain.
After more than ten breaths, the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain. Sure enough, they saw an altar. Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart at the convenience of this spiritual boat.
"This is it. This is the place where the Fengling Sect worships the heavens. This is where the Fengshan Formation is launched." Gong Bufan said in a low voice.
Xu Fu looked at the simple altar in front of him, thought for a moment and said, "For you to say, the leader ordered the formation to be closed."
"Is this absolutely impossible?" Gong Bufan hurriedly refused.
"Why not?" Xu Fu asked in surprise. What was he talking about just now? Why did it suddenly change again?
"Falsely conveying orders from the leader is a serious crime. If the leader finds out..."
Gong Bufan's words revealed his deep fear of the leader.
"It's okay, you were coerced."
As Xu Fu spoke, he raised his finger forward, and a small wind knife condensed out, cutting a hole in Gong Bufan's Taoist robe.
Gong Bufan felt a slight chill on his back and panicked in his heart. He immediately shouted loudly: "Third Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother!"
"I've met the Seventh Master Uncle."
As soon as Gong Bufan finished speaking, four figures emerged from the altar and saluted Gong Bufan in unison.
"No need to be polite, where is your master?" Gong Bufan was very familiar with these four people. They were the four disciples of his senior brother. Seeing that his senior brother did not come out, he asked hurriedly.
"Reporting to Uncle Master, Master is in seclusion." Dongshan, who looked the oldest among the four, replied. The four disciples Dongfang He accepted all had their names changed after they went up the mountain. They took Dong as their surname and their names as mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. .
"I am following the command from the leader to close the mountain sealing formation."
Gong Bufan only felt his vest being lightly poked by Xu Fu, and quickly told him the purpose of his trip.
"Um... I wonder if Uncle Master can carry the leader's token?" Dongshan hesitated for a moment, bowed and asked.
"I left in a hurry and never brought it."
"Uncle, don't be surprised. The master has an order. The messenger who opens and closes the mountain sealing formation must bring the master's token."
"You don't believe what I said?"
"We are also acting according to the rules, and I hope my uncle will forgive me." The four of them bowed their hands and looked very respectful to Gong Bufan, but their tone was extremely firm.
"Is there any other way?" Seeing that the four people refused to let go, Xu Fu asked Gong Bufan quietly.
"No, apart from the three senior brothers on this mountain, they are the only four who can open and close this formation."
"That's all."
"You want to do..."
Before the four of them raised their heads, Xu Fu struck Gong Bufan on the back of the neck with his hand knife before Gong Bufan could react.
